The U.S. House of Representatives have impeached PresidentDonald Trump for alleged abuse of power and impediment of Congress. With this,Trump has become the third president in U.S. history to be impeached, afterAndrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1999.
Trump, a Republican President, has denied the chargesapproved on December 13th by the Judicial Committee of the House, which iscontrolled by the opposition Democratic Party.
The impeachment in the US context means indictment, not removal,and it is undertaken by the lower legislative chamber.
A President can only be removed from office on conviction bythe Senate, acting on the impeachment, for `treason, bribery or other acts ofgross misconduct. The struggle will now move to the Senate, where a two-thirdsvote is required to impeach the President, something that has never happened inthe country.
In same vein, the White House has hit back at lawmakersafter President Donald Trump was impeached, slamming the illegitimate articlesof impeachment and voicing confidence that the president would be acquitted inthe Senate.
The White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said, in astatement, that the Democrats have chosen to proceed on this partisan basis inspite of the fact that the President did absolutely nothing wrong, calling thevotes in the House of Representatives an “unconstitutional travesty”.

While efforts to evacuate adulterated fuel and maintenance of adequate supply appeared to have been overwhelming the system, reports showed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL,  has relocated key management staff to Lagos in search of sustainable solutions.
While the defunct Directorate of Petroleum Resources, DPR, monitored activities of operators in the distribution value-chain, the NMDPRA has remained invisible to check the abuse by some players.
Although some marketers noted that panic buying and black market activities are worsening current development as motorists now buy way above their immediate needs, there are indications that the queues may persist for a while as the country may not have enough funds to keep spot purchase of petroleum products at the international market.
